Pregnant at seventeen. I was not that kind of girl. My final year at Hogwarts was supposed to be the best yet – filled with Quidditch matches, parties with my best friends and Outstandings in all my NEWTs. But now I was facing morning sickness, young mothers’ group and irate teachers, all whilst trying to hold my relationship with Lysander together.

James Potter has changed: no longer an arrogant, irresponsible prankster, he has matured into a responsible Head Boy with tops marks in Transfiguration. Lily Evans has changed as well: normally studious and in control, she has lost focus as she struggles with Head Girl responsibilities and N.E.W.T level studies. An unexpected encounter in the corridors one weekend leads to several startling realizations, the least of which is that things have definitely changed between James Potter and Lily Evans.

Author's Response: Thanks! I won't stop. I'm working on the last chapter but it will be a bit longer. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading this one and leaving such an encouraging review! ~Gina :)

Wow, really sweet ending! I don't really read much of James/Lily fics, but this one was really good. I'm looking forward to reading more about them from you. :)

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad I was able to convince you they are a fun read. ;) I appreciate your comments and reviews and humbly refer you to my author's page, where I have several other James/Lily stories, as well as a few on the way. Thanks again! ~Gina :)

Harry Potter had seen death - a lot of death. Friends had passed in his lifetime, more so than any one person should ever experience, but how much is too much, even for the Chosen One?

Ron Weasley is dead, leaving behind his wife and his best mate. How can these two cope with their Trio being cut down to two? And when danger lurks in the shadows, can they find the strength to fight for one another?

I went ahead a reread this chapter and I couldn't help but wonder how you came up with that whole "how they like their tea" bit. It's just so small and random, but sweet at the same time. Really creative. Good job.P.S.- I like my tea lukewarm and super sweet :)

Author's Response:

Haha, those details are just things that my brain predetermines on its own, and they simply bleed through onto the page at will. When someone asks me some random detail about a character of mine, I just sort of...know the answer. No idea how that happens.

I'm glad you like the story. The next chapter is at the beta-sitter right now, so an update is imminent.

Have I told you that you're an awesome writer yet? Well you are, and you need to know this so you'll NEVER STOP UPDATING!!!!! ;)

Author's Response:

Haha, I'll never stop updating. I've got so much from which to choose when it comes to updates that it's inevitable. I'm glad you enjoy the story, and thanks for the encouragement. It's like Red Bull for writing, I'm telling you. Never stop reviewing stories you love. :)

Wow, you wrote that really fast! I wasn't expecting her to give birth until 3 or 4 chapters from now. But I'm still confused, Ron or Harry's? Update soon! :)

Author's Response: Well, you're not supposed to know whose it is. The characters don't know, and neither do you. Muahahahaha.
I really didn't see the point in drawing out the pregnancy, because most people are familiar with how that goes, and not a whole lot by the way of interest happens during that time, so why not gloss over it, I thought. And I have one more chapter prepared thus far, and I'll post that next week.
Thanks for reading and reviewing. It always makes my day. :D

Ahhhhh! I don't know what to think. I'm not sure if I should be mad at Harry or be happy for Hermione. I guessing she thought it was Ron at first, right? You need to update soon or I think the wait will kill me. :)

Author's Response:

Oh, no worries. Updates are on the horizon. I'm glad it could twist you into knots...imagine how those two feel, hehe. I'm ebil for that. :D

What!?!? That's horrible! I did guess it would happen though, at the bit where Hermione was nagging to Harry about her gaining weight, but I didn't think it would happen. You need to update soon!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: Lol, I'm glad I could get your proverbial goat with that. It was always in the stars for this fic, so it was nice that I could mislead you all a bit, hehe. :D
Updates are coming soon. Thanks for reading!
~Jess

Hemione's parents thought there was something between her and Harry, does that mean that they're not sure if Hope is Ron or Harry's kid too? Anyways, great chapter. Update soon! :)

Author's Response:

Well, honestly, you have any two people shacked up in secret for months on end, and most anyone would think something was going on. But as for what Hermione's parents suspect, I'm afraid I shall have to be tight-lipped. You will find out soon, I promise. :X

I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and thank you for reading and reviewing.

Whoa! Your writing is amazing! When I start I don't want to stop, but when it's over it kills me to wait for the next chapter. I love how Harry felt he needed to go back to Ginny, and then how he didn't give up because of Hope. That was so sweet of him. Your version of Harry is probably the closest to J.K.'s Harry out of all the fics I've read. Update soon!!! (:

Author's Response:

Well, an update will come, I swear. I literally just finished it less than two hours ago, so it might be a week or more, but as usual, I am not going to abandon this story. I do love it so, lol.

Summary: Hermione (and Ginny) chose to return to Hogwarts to study. Harry and Ron joined the Auror Office. It's the Easter holidays, two weeks home from school for the girls, but their boyfriends are both working. The all important NEWT exams are approaching, Hermione's revision schedule is already carefully planned. Will she find time for Ron? What about Harry and Ginny?

You are a fantastic writer! I've read more than one of your fics and each makes me laugh or puts a smile on my face for the rest of the day. It's funny that you would write this chapter, since I really had wondered what had went on between Harry and Ginny when I read this fic a few months ago. So thanks for putting this up and update soon! ;)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. This chapter, and the other two (Ron, and Harry, of course) have been sitting around almost completed for a while. When I started writing fanfics I decided that I wouldnít write any sex scenes. I was wrong. The next two chapters are the closest Iíll get.
